Lumen/Guide: How to Add Certificate Completion Requirements/Eligibility to Undergraduate Certificates in Guide

How to add the shared content for undergraduate certificates that articulates the audience/completion requirement.

Procedures

Requirements Tab

All undergraduate certificates must display one of the following shared content at the end of the requirements:

  1. Undergraduate Only
  2. Undergraduate and Special Student
  3. Undergraduate and Special Student with a time limit for completion

The shared content that displays must align with the field(s) in the program proposal:

  • Is this certificate available to University Special (non-degree seeking students)?
    A screen shot of the Lumen Programs form showing the question "Is this certificate available to University Special (non-degree seeking students)?"
  • Which University Special Students are eligible for the certificate?
    A screen shot of the Lumen Programs form showing the question "Which University Special students are eligible for the certificate?"

Determining which shared content to use

  1. If the answer to "Is this certificate available to University Special (non-degree seeking students)?" = No, use "Undergraduate Only".
    • These certificates can only be taken and completed only by undergraduate students.
    • The certificate must be completed prior to graduation and graduation cannot be extended to complete the certificate.
  2. If the answer to Is this certificate available to University Special (non-degree seeking students)?" = Yes, refer to the next question.
    1. If the answer to "Which University Special Students are eligible for the certificate?" = "Members of the community that hold a bachelor's degree, but have not earned credits towards the certificate while a UW-Madison undergraduate." use "Undergraduate and Special Student".
      • These certificates can be taken by undergraduate students OR special students. 
      • The special students are eligible to complete the certificate completely stand-alone.
    2. If the answer to "Which University Special Students are eligible for the certificate?" = "Started as an undergraduate at UW-Madison, and graduated before completing requirements." use "Undergraduate and Special Student with a time limit for completion".
      • These certificates can be taken by undergraduate students, and completed as special students.
      • These are not able to be earned stand-alone by a special student.
